Overview
Genetic testing helps in the confirmation of the diagnosis of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. It allows the identification of mutations in up to 65% of patients with a clinical diagnosis of CPVT. There are HRS/EHRA Expert Consensus Recommendations for Genetic testing in Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
Genetic Testing
- Genetic testing helps in the confirmation of the diagnosis of CPVT.
- Genetic screening allows the identification of mutations in up to 65% of patients with a clinical diagnosis of CPVT.
- Identification of heterozygous pathogenic variants in RYR2 or CALM1 or of biallelic pathogenic variants in CASQ2 or TRDN can also establish the diagnosis of CPVT.
- Recommendations for genetic testing are:[1][2]
- Comprehensive or CPVT1 and CVPT2 (RYR2 and CASQ2) targeted CPVT genetic testing is recommended for any patient in whom a clinical index of suspicion for CPVT has been established based on examination of the patient's clinical history, family history, and expressed electrocardiographic phenotype during exercise stress testing or catecholamine infusion.
- Mutation-specific genetic testing is recommended for family members and appropriate relatives following the identification of the CPVT-causative mutation in an index case. Those family members with identified mutations should be treated even in the absence of a positive exercise stress test.[3]
